PRESIDENT TINUBU HAILS WINNERS OF BY-ELECTIONS IN GOMBE, KANO, BAUCHI AND DELTA STATES


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu congratulates the winners of the by-elections held over the weekend in five constituencies across Gombe, Kano, Bauchi and Delta states.


 


All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates won four of the five seats, while the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) secured one.


 


The successful APC candidates are Kallamu MaiJama’a, Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency in Gombe State; Husseini Datti, Dawakin Kudu State Constituency in Kano State; Okolosi Ator, Udu State Constituency in Delta State; and Yakubu Ali, Disina State Constituency in Bauchi State. Adamu Yakubu of the APM won the Sakwa State Constituency seat in Bauchi State.


 


The President says the victories recorded by APC candidates once again demonstrate the confidence Nigerians repose in the party’s capacity to govern effectively and deliver shared prosperity.


 


“I am encouraged by the support Nigerians at the grassroots continue to show for our party and for the difficult but necessary reforms our administration has implemented over the past three years.


 


“I urge Nigerians to remain steadfast and not be swayed by political opportunism. The benefits of these reforms will become increasingly evident as we enter the next phase of our programme,” President Tinubu says.


 


President Tinubu urges the winners to justify the confidence their constituents have placed in them through diligent and effective representation.


 


He also encourages the other candidates to accept the outcome in good faith and continue contributing to the democratic process.


 


The President commends voters and security agencies for maintaining peace and order during the elections. He also applauds the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for successfully conducting the polls following the August 15 Osun State governorship election.


 


President Tinubu urges INEC to build on the progress recorded in the by-elections and address any shortcomings ahead of future polls, particularly the general elections scheduled for January and February.
